This is the exact training blueprint that gained me over 100lbs, while getting faster, and ultimately earning an NCAA D1 scholarship. Now, I’m sharing it with you, so you can achieve the same level of transformation in a much shorter amount of time.
Build Explosive Strength & Power – Gain size and strength to dominate physical battles without losing speed.
Speed & Agility Focus – Increase speed, accelerate faster, and become agile on the ice.
Elite Conditioning & Endurance – Outlast your competition and stay strong late in games.
Nutrition for Maximum Growth – Fuel your training with a hockey-detailed nutrition guide.
Injury Prevention & Recovery – Mobility work and recovery protocols keep you from injury and burn out.
This 20-week, tried, tested and proven system is designed to help you pack on muscle, increase speed, and step onto the ice more powerful than ever. If you're serious about taking your game to the next level, this program will get you there.
What are you waiting for? Dominate this Off Season and earn your confidence!
